So, I got crap today from Jared, my bff, about my obsession with American Idol. What obsession? Just because I take notes during the show so that I can share with my ever-growing legion of readers (all 3 of ya) my take on what goes down? It's not obsessive, dang-it! It's fun! I do it so I'll have some sense of what I'm saying when I'm writing. But anyhoo, he just likes to give me shit....and I he.
So, last night....wait..I've noticed I'm starting everything with "so" lately. I needa cut that out. Last night was another one of my seminars with the Landmark Forum, which I've been attending since I actually took part in the Landmark Forum itself in January. It was simply the most awesome, life-altering experience I've had in some time, if not ever. Not the seminar last nite, but the Landmark Forum. It completely shows you how you can have everything you want for your life. In these seminars that I'm attending for the next 8 weeks, we discuss ways to enhance our way of living the lives that we love. One of the things that I created for myself out of my participation in the Forum was the possibility of being a writer. This is one of the main reasons why I decided to create this blog. I'm a writer now. Simple as that. Whereas before the forum, I was always someone who wanted to be a writer "someday". After the Forum I know that "someday" is today. I'm living my life today.
I shared my new possibility of being a writer last night with everybody and the seminar leader, Amanda, made sure that I was held accountable for being who I said that I was gonna be. She made sure that everybody "stood for" me doing what I said I was gonna do and I agreed to have written 5 pages by the next time we meet, which is March 3rd. Which is funny, because I will seriously have had at least that many pages keeping this blog updated daily. But, anyhoo, I'm excited about my life as a writer. And I could just kick myself in the face for not realizing before now how perfect being a screenwriter is for me. I love movies like I love music, well wait a minute. Maybe I need to re-think this. I love music a helluva lot!! But I do love my cinema and I love to write, so 2 + 2 = what? It took my friend, Jared, to say "you should be doing some screenwriting" for me to have my Eureka moment. But I'm now taking action toward getting my writing underway, the blog being one step. I've obtained books on screenwriting lately, and I'm always reading which I think is necessary, although I should probably be reading Shakespeare and Dickens and the like so that I can become more in tune with the ripples and waves of the cadence of a true writer.
But enough about that. American Idol comes on in about a half hour!! And Jeremy had better get his butt home! I got my check sheet all ready to go. But guess what! America's Next Top Model starts this week also. I'm stupid crunk for that. I love me some beautiful women. It's funny, hunh? Me being a big-ole penis-worshiper and I loves me some gorgeous gals; beauty pageants, models. Do you think it's 'cause I wish I was one? har-dee-har-har...that was a joke. Don't be ludicrous. No, I love being a guy. Don't get me wrong. I guess i just love the glamour of it all; the red carpet, dressing up, looking fab, that whole deal. Whatever the case may be, I love it like I love my husband, and that's a lot!
(Transitioning to the next paragraph without using "so").......Did you know David Archuleta was on Star Search as a kid!!?? I remembered him just now winning that show when they showed him just a sec ago on ET. I completely remember that!
On another note, I just quit my other part time job as part-time Payroll Accountant for this wireless solutions company called aBt. I hated to do it, but I can't create dedication to my writing with so many other things going on. So, this will be the last payroll that I process for them before leaving for Vegas on Saturday! Oh, yeah, I haven't even mentioned Vegas. Jeremy, my partner, has a conference in Vegas and lemme tell you what! I am excited. My good friend Steve works there as a "dealer-tainer". He does Toby Keith on stage while not dealing (in character) in the casino. He is a riot! We have so much fun clowning around the entire time we're together. I don't think there's more than 5 minutes or so that we're serious the whole time. Which is lovely. I laugh and laugh and laugh. He prides himself on being funny. He even at one time attempted to be a comedian. I guess that was a big bust. I wasn't there to witness it though, cause whereas we used to both live in Dallas, I moved back home to Houston (before moving to my new permanent home in Minnesota) and he moved to Austin to see if he could get started there. Didn't hear very much about that though.
Anyhoo, Las Vegas is waiting for me. We'll be staying at the Bellagio, which I've only visited before, never stayed there. I can't wait to see what view we have; whether or not we'll be able to see the water show from the room. I was thinking I'd be able to play around more with Steve during the day, but it appears that I have to play 'supportive hubby' at more functions that I'd assumed. Lemme tell you what. I am gonna do my best to get out of as much of that stuff as I can. I mean I love me some Jer, but I'd rather be funnin' than bored outta my ghord(?). I'm sure he'll understand. He loves me and wants me to have a blast!! (let's hope so anyway)...lol. Ooooh! btw, his company is having a "Cocktail & Conversation" party the Sunday nite that we get there, with free horse derves(hee hee) and drinks, but THEN there's a surprise from 7:00 - 10:30 afterwards. I feel Vegas show!! That would be awesome! Celine's show is all wrapped up and I just found out Toni Braxton won't be performing that weekend (which sucks serious ass-holeage), so we could hope for the grande Dame Bette Midler's new show!! Or whatever... I'm really easy. But I'll bet they're taking us to a show! I'm all excited.
Anyway, time to wrap it up for tonite. I got some reading to do. "Screenwriting for Dummies" to be exact. Woo-hoo!! I'm a dumb screenwriter! How bout that? I think that sounds awesome.......
